School Board policies state positions adopted by the Board in order to provide direction, control and/or management of its legal functions. The goals of all policy are to present clear, concise, and distinct directives to the Board’s staff and to serve as a primary communication tool with the general public with specific attention to students, parents and/or guardians. Regulations state procedures and rules developed by the administration to guide and direct the implementation of Board policy. Adoption of new policies or revision of existing policies is solely the responsibility of the Board. Proposals for new policies or revisions to current policies may be submitted in writing by any interested citizen, District employee, or member of the Board. Proposals shall be submitted to the Superintendent for referral to the Board. It is the obligation of employees to familiarize themselves with and follow Board policies. Employees are responsible for familiarizing themselves with and following all administrative regulations. One should consider two basic points when using this manual: (1) the policies represent official positions of the Board, and (2) federal, state and local statutes drive the legal basis for these policies and regulations. Various other publications such as the Certificated Personnel Handbook, Support Personnel Handbook, Behavior Response Plan, Policies and Procedures Manual for Special Education in Oklahoma, Administrative Handbook for School Activity Funds, and the School Laws of Oklahoma serve as companion documents to this Board Policy Manual and are useful tools for more regulatory detail. Please note that Board policies are printed on white paper and administrative regulations are printed on blue paper. Regulations are codes with an “R” suffix.

WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL, 1975-1980 Dissertation Approved: Dr. A. Kenneth Stern Dissertation Adviser Dr. Edward Harris Dr. Bernita Krum Dr. Elizabeth Williams Dr. A. Gordon Emslie Dean of the Graduate College ii A Magnet School and Desegregation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The people involved with the completion of this degree over the past seven years are too numerous to mention. I would like to highlight a few though, with whose help the dissertation would not have been possible. To my dissertation advisor, Dr. Ken Stern, I owe a debt of gratitude. He helped me through, what seemed like, endless drafts, always being positive and encouraging. I enjoyed the conversations he and I had at Mojo’s over the past years. Dr. Stern and Dr. Ed Harris have guided me through many of my classes, and their input has been invaluable. Dr. Krum’s editing skills have made me a better writer and a clearer thinker. I have listened to her advice and have become a better researcher because of it. Dr. Williams was the first person that I met when I came to Oklahoma State University and I am grateful she accepted my invitation to serve on my committee and offered her advice.

Therefore, a plan has been generated according to the work of the Alternative Education Task Force through the Office of School Innovations.

The plan provides a scaffolding of services in a Response to Intervention (RtI) Design that incorporates research-based interventions to support S4. The strategies have been designed to align with the philosophy and practices of the Positive Behavior Support programs used by many of the District sites. The goal is to help students in their development as mature, able, knowledgeable and responsible individuals. The model incorporates expectations of meeting and institutionalizing a formula for success: Relationships + Relevance + Rigor + Readiness + Responsibility = Results Realization of the goals require adherence to the District belief, ALL Children can learn. And furthermore, it is the responsibility of educators to ensure that success. The Behavior Response Plan of Tulsa Public Schools operates on the definition of discipline which literally means “to teach.” Accordingly, the philosophy includes several premises: People behave in the ways that they know, or believe will assist in meeting needs. Changing behavior involves several prerequisites. One must be aware that the behavior is not appropriate.
